Just a quick blog post to tell you all about Post Pals UK. On facebook there is a new group set up by Claire Keay of Jellypark. Claire had the wonderful idea to team up with Post Pals by generously giving away a set of 6 images to everyone who participates in sending cards and gifts to the children on the Post Pals site.

Simply ask to join the Group and once approved, let Claire know you would like the first image. Once you show a picture of your first make and tell us which child you are sending it to, you will receive the 2nd image and so on.

My first card went to a right little cutie called Tie D and here it is. Inside the card there are even more cheesy monkey jokes :o)

As you can see I also made a little door hanger for him. Hope he liked them and that they brought a smile to his face.

I said it would be a quick post as I'm in the middle of making a card for another Post Pal child. I'll post up pictures once it's done.

Welcome to my blog

Hi, I'm Mel and I love to craft, hence the name of my blog :o) I'm a stay at home mum with 2 gorgeous children. They drive me mad, make me laugh and leave me in awe each minute of every day.

I have always loved art and creative pursuits and have been making things from a very young age.

I predominantly make cards and have done for about 20 years now, I also like to sew, knit and crochet. Recently I got a chance to make some lampwork glass beads, I really enjoyed it but will stick with paper and card as opposed to very hot flames and moulten glass :o)

I love bright colours and modern design. Colouring is such a wonderfully therapeutic past time.

Digital art plays a large part in my crafting and I often spend hours digitally paper piecing or creating my own background papers, sentiments and embellishments for my cards.
